I must admit that I knew little about the Koch brothers other than what I read on the Internet. Usually anything on the Internet is spot on, but I listened to the Freakanomics podcast about them and it gave me a better insight to them. I got curious when I heard about how they didn't support Trump. I came away with a much different and clearer perspective on them. They definitely are not just conservative dark money stooges. Much more Libertarian.Originally Posted by Two Utes
Even as a (R), Eccles was very much a New Dealer Keynsian before JMK, so its a balanced offset in political philosophy. Far too many want to make "mountains out of molehills" in todays political climate. This is exactly how private donations should work.

Pershing should be fired immediately. http://www.sltrib.com/news/education...came-to-light/
Almost no one in this story comes off looking good. I've always thought Pershing was weak. I've heard that he was a second or third choice for the Utah presidency because the first choice pulled out, not wanting to deal with Utah church-state politics. Supposedly it was a nationally known academic star. I'm a bit fuzzy on that, though.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
